  2. How Software Fails
    The Hidden Laws of Complex Systems
    Engin Yöyen

    How Software Fails: A Field Guide to Understanding Complex System DisastersSoftware failures aren’t accidents, they’re inevitable. From cosmic rays flipping bits to tiny files crashing millions of machines, our most critical systems collapse in ways no one foresaw. Through gripping cases, the $460M Knight Capital meltdown, the lethal Therac-25, a file grounding global air travel, this book uncovers the hidden rules of complex disasters. Drawing on Richard Cook’s principles, it shows why testing can’t guarantee safety, how “reasonable” choices spawn chaos, and why scale makes the impossible certain. But it’s also about resilience: NASA’s Mars rovers, Netflix’s chaos engineering, and the ethics of life-critical systems. For engineers, managers, or curious readers, this guide reshapes how you see the fragile systems running our world.

  3. Mental Self Defense and Reverse Social Engineering for Human Beings
    Against the Tactics, Strategies and Psycho Bullshit of Modern Totalitarianism, 2020
    J. Michael Hudson

    Every child is taught not to do what our governing entities do at the highest levels on a vast scale: bully, fight, trick, cheat, point, threaten violence, pick out some classmates you don’t like and make their lives hell, start a cult and take over student government, build a network of spies and then blackmail your friends to achieve your goals.

  4. Assembly Arithmetic Algorithms-Linux
    32-bit Linux Edition
    Chastity White Rose

    Personally, I think that the Assembly system of conditional jumps makes a lot of sense. Other programming languages such as BASIC and C have "goto" statements that work like this. For example, `if(eax<ebx){goto less;}`. Modern programming languages tend to discourage the use of goto or not allow it at all. However, these languages still use jumps I have described in this section because it is required by the hardware. Both "if" and "while" statements are written by using the conditional jump statements most relevant to what you are trying to do. The only thing I have found difficult about jumps in assembly is remembering which acronym means which condition. However, since I created the chart in this chapter, now I can refer to it, and you can too! As long as I keep these six main types of conditions in my head and am working with unsigned numbers, I can write almost any assembly program from scratch.
